Featured review
A good story that keeps getting better
PJ, based on the award-winning play, is about a man (known only as PJ), brought to a hospital with severe amnesia and apparent insanity. Armed with only the man's initials and a phone number held by someone who refuses to stay on the line, Dr. Shearson, the hospital's leading psychiatric specialist, sets out on a personal journey to find out who PJ is, and bring him back to reality.
The effect PJ has on Dr. Shearson and all the other people around him is poignant and far from the expected. As the film progresses, you are lured into the darkest, yet understandable reaches of each character, and you walk away wiping your eyes. Although I haven't seen Howard Nash in a film before, he is surely a rare, emerging talent, whose career is well-worth following.
For an independent film, I found that seeing so many known and talented performers such as John Heard, Robert Picardo, Patricia Rae, Vincent Pastore, Glynnis O'Connor and Hallie Kate Eisenberg very captivating, refreshing and entertaining.
PJ's original violin and orchestral music, composed by Neil Argo, is inspiring and spiritual - it evokes feelings of grace and redemption while intensifying the emotional bonds with PJ's characters.
This film is for anyone that believes there's good in the universe.
